Determining the Decimal Places
To determine the number of decimals for a type P field, you use the DECIMALS parameter with the DESCRIBE FIELD statement as follows:
Syntax
DESCRIBE FIELD <f> DECIMALS <d>.
The system reads the number of decimals of the field
<f> and writes the value to the field <d> .
DATA: PACK TYPE P DECIMALS 2, DEC.
DESCRIBE FIELD PACK DECIMALS DEC.
This example results in field DEC containing the value 2.
